Welcome to the site, Cheers AC 09-15-2007, 02:09 PM 3 gallons of air plane stripper will do the trick....quicker than sanding and less chance messing up fiberglass. I check into the name of the (air plane paint stripper)friends have used on thier cars and where to find it. blueshark 09-16-2007, 09:59 AM Although airplane stripper works wonders on painted steel , unfortunately, the methylene chloride in the airplane stripper will melt the plastic resin used to build the car. It's use will be very detrimental on anything formulated of plastic. Cheers SCHOON 09-16-2007, 06:50 PM I am with Blueshark, go with baking soda. There is a guy by me that will blast a Vet for $700 and you will get your car back the same day with no paint on it. Striping a Vet is a real nasty and sucky job. Spend the $700 and your half way there. wrwalke 09-17-2007, 07:45 PM The best tool for stripping several coats of bad Maaco $299 paint jobs off of a great Corvette? Drumroll... a wallet. :D Sandpaper works, baking soda in a blaster works, soft plastic bead in a blaster works... But I *highly* recommend paying someone with experience (and lots of it) to do the job. bill.

PG Billm10454 09-22-2007, 08:57 PM I used Captain Lee's. You can get it from Ecklers. You pore the fluid into a spray bottle that comes with the stripper and spray it on. It works in 5 to 15 minutes. |
